## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap USDT Polygon to ATOM on GhostSwap?

Most USDT Polygon to ATOM swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the USDT Polygon deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Polygon PoS, then the ATOM is sent to your wallet, and Cosmos Hub confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 USDT Polygon in ATOM?

1 USDT Polygon is worth about 0.613426 ATOM at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ATOM network fee. The rate floats with the market until your USDT Polygon deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange USDT Polygon to ATOM?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Cosmos Hub address that should receive the ATOM, send USDT Polygon from your own wallet, and the ATOM goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Tether (Polygon) to Cosmos?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ATOM amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little POL to pay the Polygon PoS network fee for sending USDT Polygon.

### What wallet should I use to receive ATOM?

To receive Cosmos from your swap, we recommend using Keplr, Trust Wallet or Vultisig. Make sure your wallet supports the Cosmos Hub network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ATOM address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ATOM address?

Use a Cosmos Hub address: it starts with cosmos1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Do I need a Memo to receive ATOM?

Only if the ATOM goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Memo; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal ATOM wallet does not need one.

### Can I track my USDT Polygon to ATOM swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your USDT Polygon payment on PolygonScan (https://polygonscan.com) and your incoming ATOM on Mintscan (https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos).

### Is it safe to exchange USDT Polygon for ATOM on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your USDT Polygon deposit is converted and the ATOM is sent straight to the Cosmos Hub address you enter, so check that address twice — Cosmos Hub transfers cannot be reversed.

### Why swap USDT Polygon to ATOM?

Converting Tether (Polygon) to Cosmos moves dollar-pegged funds into Cosmos. Cosmos is used for staking and governance of the Cosmos Hub. Unlike a stablecoin, its price moves with the market. GhostSwap needs no account on a centralized exchange and no KYC.

### What happens if my USDT Polygon to ATOM exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the USDT Polygon is refunded to the Polygon PoS address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
